Being without a desktop I fell a bit behind on what all was going on in a lot of areas, mainly because I wasn’t doing much outside of just my standard use and work. I just found out about Ubuntu’s Enterprise Cloud feature in Ubuntu Server 9.10. It looks very interesting, and I look forward to giving it a try. I am however unclear on how data is stored on disk, does it use parity, or store multiple copies? I wasn’t able to find much information on this.

I installed Lucid Lynx, the upcoming LTS release of Ubuntu. It is currently in its alpha stage, and when I get my desktop set back up I will reinstall to Lucid Lynx. The performance was suffering greatly running in a VM on my laptop, I really want to see how it will perform with the SSD.

I am really unsure what I want to do with my cabinet. I certainly don’t want to sell it, but it is taking up significant space and I don’t have use for much of the equipment right now. If I end up not getting a roommate I can put it in the 2nd bedroom in a couple months, but for right now I have it sitting in the living room, and it is taking up more space than I’d like.

Well thats all the randomness I can go on about right now. I’m tired, and my back hurts and I haven’t been doing much outside of work.

Looking back I see what I did that annoyed people and I try very hard to avoid those situations.
